Don’t bite the hand that feeds you
Show some loyalty, I don’t mean go exclusive (Chapter 14,Do not go exclusive!), what I mean is don’t bad mouth people that give you work and promote others above them.
Here is an example: I did a photo shoot with a woman, a week later I posted her pictures on our studio blog and sent out notices. Shortly after complements in group chat started rolling in, the woman in the shoot then says to one of the commentor’s, “Thank you P****,. Hey P*****...Have you seen my other set?”
She then proceeds to post a link to a flickr page owned by another studio and says, “thats from **** Productions, I hope to do much more work with **** Productions”
That was the last time we had her in any of our productions, and hope she is very happy with **** Productions. If someone gives you complements about something just posted NEVER push your other works, especially with another production company.
Also remember the one’s that gave you a start, because without them the whole course you have traveled would be different, and the ones that have given you the most work, because they have perpetuated your career.
As they say the “grass is always greener”, but "loyalty is highly valued."
Again I’m not saying go exclusive, just remember who was there for you and gave you work.
